Le Secteur X

One of the city's most exhilarating gay cruise clubs

Average Reviews

About

In the heart of Paris's vibrant gay district, Le Marais, lies Secteur X, a venue that has evolved from a quaint gay dive bar into one of the city's most exhilarating gay cruise clubs. This establishment, known for its intimate and slightly taboo atmosphere, offers a unique experience for those seeking a night of adventure and connection.

Despite its compact size, Secteur X packs a punch with its dungeon-like ambiance, attracting a crowd that's both diverse and enthusiastic. The club's two-level play area is a testament to its commitment to providing a space that's both inclusive and exciting. While it may not be the go-to spot for those seeking a younger crowd, it's a haven for those who appreciate the company of hot, rough-looking Parisians in their 40s and beyond.

The bar staff, often tattooed and friendly, add to the charm of Secteur X, making patrons feel welcome in an environment that's both edgy and safe. However, it's worth noting that the bar's size can be a limitation, especially during peak hours or special events like their infamous piss parties, which, while not for everyone, add a unique flavor to the club's offerings.

Being my first time here, I wasn't sure about the protocol.... Being treated so rudely by the unfriendly guy at the coat check came as a shock! The unsmiling guy hanging coats told me 'step aside as there are people waiting,' when I wasn't even sure where to change or where to stand.... The congested, cramped entryway isn't at all suitable for changing. Before I could even take off my shirt, the 'crosseye' bartender was demanding my drink order! Very hectic and anxiety filled first experience. Later, I stood back and watched how it's done 👍 upon entry, stand against wall, undress first, then approach the angry coat check and bar. Once you're downstairs, it's a standard pee- soaked sex club. But beware of the unfriendly and abrupt staff as you enter! There are MUCH friendlier and welcoming spaces for tourists that are offering the exact same thing. Try Le Mensch or L'Impact for great customer care with a smile ☺️

I'm from New York city, been to this bar Friday September 07 2024, it's true what people are saying about the old cross eye "bartender to be", he's an old arrogant bartender, as soon as I entered I was requested to hang my hoody, (which is not even jacket), I agreed, the coat check short guy speaks not much english, he asked what i wanna drink while hanging my hoodie, cross eye "bartender to be" came asked me what i wanna drink while hoodie was been handed, I asked needed a minute to see what they have and see what I would drink, bartender said is mandatory hang the coat and have a drink, I wasn't refusing to have a drink or hang the hoodie, just very unpolite way the cross eye (bartender to be) approach people. 1000% true what people are saying, place has smell of pee and floor was all wet, but I did have a great time with a young tall, fit, parisian very good looking guy. If you go to this place just ignore the bartender to be , have a beer or your dri k in mind , you will be fine.

You should definitely spend your time at another place in Paris. This one is so messy, neglected, and the stuff is rude and discriminatory. Never recommended.

Yet another unfriendly gay club in Le Marais district. An example? Try the cross-eyed bartender and see how right I am. Awkward treatments would wait for you here, just knock the door. The place is very dirty, very narrow, suffocating you’ll ever meet in Paris. Stay away.

world's most awful gay bar.I waited twenty minutes to order a drink and the bartender kept ignoring me. Finally he tells me I need to leave because I didn't order a drink... so I refused and shouted I wasn't going to leave until I got my drink - and he literally turned off the music and raised the lights and shut the place down until I left.DREADFUL BAR

Always packed but unable to get in as you need to “be in the list” very odd.

The worst bar I have been to. As soon as I entered and gave my jacket, the bar guy asked what I want to drink. I told him to give me a minute to see what is there on offer. He gave me my jacket back and said he doesn’t have time for people who waste time. The worst of the known french assholeness! Never come here.

This club met every expectation I had and more! I hope I get to come back to Paris to visit this place again. If you are looking for an adventure, you need to go here.

I spent the whole night around 1am Saturday amount Full Metal, Le Secteur X and Krash. I have to say Le Secteur X is the only one I will NEVER EVER go back!So I went in, they said you have to buy a drink as a ticket to use the room downstairs. I don't drink alcohol so I bought another customer one. It was just as filthy as other clubs tbh.So then I went to Full Metal and Raidd and came back to Le Secteur X, thinking the first drink I bought could warren my second entry, like the other two clubs. Surprise, surprise. Not only they asked me to buy another drink, the rude mustached owner also said this is not a supermarket etc. Ok. So I left with disbelief.Very disappointed of this visit but the other two clubs are ok. I mean, Full Metal was cleaner than Krash. I'll review them on their accounts.

Check what you dont need inside the front door and enjoy 2 1/2 floors of steamy not very hygienic sex. Especially if you had mild luck across the street. Friendly staff who understand you're not there to make friends. French language not a necessity

I went for one of the Sunday afternoon parties and it was just the best thing ever. All the negative complaints on here seem to be pointing that it's not...

The mythic show-bar Le Piano Zinc was one of the greatest place in Paris in the 80's. After it closed, some other teams tried to reopen the same song-bar...
